Last Friday morning, during the
dense fog prevailing. a freight train
standing in the yards here was tele-
scoped by another incoming freight
from the west. The caboose was
totally destroyed and the engine was
thrown from the track and badly
damaged. 1t was clearly an unavoid.
able accident and no blame attaches
to any one. Engineer Palm, of the
wrecked engine. and his fireman
jumped as soon as tho danger was dis
covered and their efforts to avoid the
collision proved unavailing; and az
the cabodse was vacant nobody was
injured. Several box cars were more
or less damaged and the track was
badly torn up for couple OF
rods. The main track was blockaded
for several hours 30 that the side
tracks had to be used by passenger
trains, and it was not until 8 O'Clock
that evening that the wreck was en-
tirely cleaned up.

column. It is reasonable that our
merchants here. with mo rent, light
tax and low expenses, are able to give
as good bargains on their goods as can
the retail merchants of the cities,
who must make their customers pay
their enormous expenscs--high taxes,
and items of expenses unknown to
western life-besides the great bur.
den of extravagant city management.
These are items which are escaped
by citizens of fafal districts, and
business profits need not be figured
to cover them.

Fer the Public Health.

The hot summer is approaching and a
proper regard for our safety would teach
US to take the necessary precautions die
tated by the time and the situation. Dis
ease lies fostering in our open bitches
the seeds of death are rapidly maturing
in n hundred backyards. Nothing but a
charitable regard for the financial inter-
ests of the physicians could furnish rea-
son or excuse for our present inactivity.
1t is -useless to say that no money is in
the treasury-the doctors will soon de
mand it and we shall be compelled to get
it at their call. 1t is true our police force
is small, but we had better dispense with
one or all the force than incur the dam
gers which now threaten us. Better
danger to property than disease and
death for the weak among us.
The water from the artesian wells
should flow on each side of our streets
night and day. 1t would sweep out the
fostering refuse in our bitches, from
which now spring broadcast the germs
of fever and cholera. This would cost
nothing but little labor. Then let the
Council secure the services of proper
person to look after the smooth outflow
of these streams, and to inspect the
premises of our citizens and report on
their sanitary condition. This work as
absolutely necessary during the summer
season and our authorities should take
action Immediately. Fresh graves before
fall will be the evidence of further
delay and carelessness in this matter

Would Buy the Nation Out.

The. little offer Jay Gould made to the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate, ac-
cording to his own report, to buy the
Government claim against the Union
Pacific lat its present worth was not
even considered. Apparently Jay Gould's
''surplus" is bOthering him as much
as the Government is bothering
statesmen of financial turn. This
mighty juggler with wealth. who can
convert water into money with such
surprising CELEBRITY, also proposed
to invest $l5,OOO,OOO to build a
parallel road FROM Ogden to Omaha,
just outside the right of way, that is,
within speaking distance of the old road
which he would thus have abandoned to
the Government. He complains that the
Government was trying to get more
out of the turnip than was in it," SIM
lie showing that the little juggler's mind
was still running on water. If he lives
a decade longer we may expect an offer
to buy the whole country in order to re-
move some distractions which prevent
his using his hundreds of millions ex-
actly as he would like to.

We gave our readers lately the arraign-

selves. 1t was "A complete vindication of
our criticism, and, moved by this forcible
presentation of facts proved by the rec
ord, President Cleveland has given the
new Commissioners new rules for their
government, which it is hoped, will give
us a new Civil Service. How this must
work in contrast to the old method which
is plainly declared Ito be trOrse than the
Spots System Is best told in the follow
ing extract:
Those who are oftenest promoted now
are those who know how to play the
part of courtier, or who have friends
in places of influence and favor. The
really meritorious clerks, unless they
are in favor with their chief. or have
powerful friends, stand little chance for
advancement.

Contradiction Of His Statement that Gen.
Thomas Succeeded Gen. Lee
New York World
WASHINGTON, May ia writer in the
Washington Sunday Herald to-day says:
mo one ought to be more thoroughly
acquainted with the record of the Off
GERS of the United States Army than
Gen. Sherman. Yet, in his article In the
current number of the North american
Rerietr, in reply to Gen. Wolseley' S
eulogy on Gen. Lee, Gen. Sherman says:
Il offer another name more nearly re-
sembling Gen. Lee in personal character
istics-Gen. George III. Thomas.
He, too. was a Virginian. and when Lee
retired from the army in 1861, Thomas
succeeded him as Colonel of the Second
Regular Cavalry"
1T will be news to the officers of the
old army to learn even from Gen. Sher-
man that Thomas succeeded Lee as Col
onel of the Second Regular Cavalry.
Gen. Philip ST. George Cooke stands as
Colonel of the Second Cavalry in the
army register of September, 1861. In
the register printed January l of the
same year. Albert Sydney Johnston holds
that position, Gen. Sherman makes
two grave mistakes-the first in stating
that Gen. Lee was Colonel of tine Second
Cavalry, the second that Gen. Thomas
succeeded him as Colonel of that reg
iment. As Gen. Lee never was its Col
onel, he could not have been succeeded
by Gen. Thomas. Whether Gen, Thomas
was ever Colonel of that regiment or not
old officers of the army well know.
That he did succeed Gen. Lee as its com
mander is certain"

A bug similar in shape and color, but
smaller than the lightning bug or fire
fly, has lately made its appearance in the
Savannah harbor, causing considerable
annoyance to those working 1ongshore
and aboard vessels. These pests APP
peared some days ago quite suddenly and
in immense numbers, but are now de-
creasing. A similar bug has been seen
in past years, but it was seemingly
harmless. The bug now visiting the
port deposits wherever it lights a thin
fluid that raises almost instantly an irri-
tating and painful blister in the shape of
the excresence, and when mashed with
the hand or finger a similar result is pro-
duced. Persons sleeping aboard vessels
have awakened in the morning
and found themselves covered with
blisters wherever their bodies were
exposed. A number of these unwel-
come visitors have been caught and sent
to the Government naturalists at Wash
ington, for the purpose of ascertaining
what they are, as no one here appears to
have any knowledge of them.

indulging in pleasantries with her up to
that moment, fully comprehended the
taunt at the practice of his ancestors,
and colored up to the roots of his hair,
and could make no reply. Another
Washington lady hearing of this, said:
''Oh. suppose she was trying to pose as

ATLANTA, GA, May 15,-Miss Mary
Harden, the fiancee of John Howard
Payne and the lady for whom he wrote
his Home, Sweet Home" died in Ath-
ems last night and was buried their to-
day. 1t is said that the original copy of
Home, Sweet Home" was buried with
her, as it was interlined with love declar-
alton from Payne which the lady did
not wish to have fall under the eyes of
the public. She had been offered large
sums for the manuscript but always de
| clined to part with it. Miss Harden
passed her seventy-eighth year on her
| last birthday.
Probably not half dozen persons out
| side of Athens knew that the quiet little
| house IN Hancock avenue held this re-
markable lady, and many a resident of
| Athens even had lost sight of her. Gen.
| Harden, of Savannah, was her father
| While girl she was reared in a French
family and she learned the language
thoroughly. In the Use of the rapier she
| became proficient, practIcing regularly.
She spent several years in Europe, COM

this Indian transaction was John How

daughter Mary. Payne was ardent, but
| the young girl was not touched by his
wooing. Payne loved on, and when abb

We're in verse and always ardent. 1t was
to her that his soul, troubled-rocked and
tempest-tossed, indicted the words of
Home, Sweet Home" This manu-
script Miss Hardin preserved and priced.
When Gen. Harden died it was found
that his estate was in -olved and much of
his property swept way. His daughter

We commend to our readers the manly,
dignified letter of Gov. Perry in reply to
Gov. Bloxham's proposition that both
withdraw. No man can allow his per-
sonal interests to endanger party unity
or common welfare. But Edward A.
Perry makes no deals. When he is con-
WINGED that his further candidacy is only
a personal issue his name will be
withdrawn without reference to
the opinions or actions of others, and
no private or individual interest of his
viii ever be allowed to embarrass the
action of the party or obstruct the ma
chinery of the State. This position is
characteristic of the man. 1t brings into
prouder prominence his self-contained,
strong nature. which yields without
effort to reason or duty, but stands like
the oak amid the storm of meaner pas
sions and the tempest of empty words.
Such men make us proud of our common
manhood.

The assurance of the scientists that

diminish their efforts to make him all
